This kayak is suitable for all types of fishing environments and is equipped with numerous features.

Now, let's address some frequently asked questions about the Riot Kayaks Escape 12 Angler:

Can you stand up in it? I would not recommend standing up in this kayak.

What is the max load on this kayak? I'm not sure of the exact poundage, but given its 12-foot length, ample stowage options, good freeboard, and sturdy construction, it can handle a substantial load. You may want to contact the manufacturer for specific weight capacity details.

I would like to purchase scupper plugs. If they are needed, what size should I get? The Riot Kayaks Escape 12 Angler kayak comes with scupper plugs included. However, most users rarely find the need to use them as the water does not usually come up through the holes. Instead, they serve as convenient access points for cleaning away any messes from the fish.

Does it come with a paddle? When I purchased this kayak, it did not come with a paddle. However, it did include a seat and a trolley anchor system. Best wishes.
